Yes! College life is over. I can barely believe it--I'm done it with it. It was just like yesterday when I was this shy and awkward freshman, trying to figure out what college life is all about and trying to fit in the "college culture". Second year came, I was this proud second year Accountancy student (yes i am proud because i'm one of the few who'll advance to second year. Imagine, from nine blocks in 1st year, only two block remain). This was also the year when I thought I'll be kicked out from the accountancy program because I did not reach the QPI requirement but thank God, I , together with some of my classmates, was given a chance to stay in the program. Yes. Then third year came, I faced the real challenge and struggles of being an accountancy student. That was also the time when I was really stressed out it was my lowest point in college. My grades were very low, let's say pasang-awa. But yeah! Thank God, I survived that crazy and stressful junior ride. I can hardly believe how I was able to survive that year but yeah, I gave best. I shed tears and blood just to pass every subject and God remained true and kind. God guided me through and he heard my prayers gyud. Then finally, fourth year came. I was scared. Scared by the fact that this would be my final year. Magka-alaman najud kung mu-graduate ba gyud ko sa March or dili.
1st semester. I felt unusual. Unusual because the subjects were not that heavy. Maybe because we have new sets of teachers. So first semester was kind of a "relax semester". I enjoy the first semester. But then...this was the time when I first had my first failure. Yes. I failed in Law 3. I felt devastated. But soon, I have learned to accept it. One of my friends once said: "It is better to experience failure now than later." [chos101]
Second semester. My subjects were heavy, Audit+MAS+Law. Oh-oh-oh... >.<
Even though my subjects were challenging and demanding, I have learned to embrace it as it is like trying to immerse myself within it and handle them one at a time.
Overall, my four-year stay in college was meaningful and wonderful as it is filled with great adventure, new experiences, extraordinary challenges, great memories, genuine friendships, and lasting relationships! :)
Finally, Graduation day came. Woah!! How fast time flies! Parang kailan lang noong ang mga pangarap ko'y ang hirap abutin...pero ngayon naabot ko na. Salamat at natapos din. Salamat Panginoon.
When I was still a freshie, I once told myself: Hay kadugay ba sa panahon. Gusto ko fourth year nako aron mahuman naning tanan. Aron mahuman na akong struggle sa accounting.
When I was a senior, I said: Yay! Fourth year naman diay ko. Last year na nako ni sa college. Hala..mu-graduate kaha ko? Unta Lord mu-graduate ko. 4 years ra akong contract!
Now that I finally graduated: Yeheey graduate najud ko! Mao ra toh?? Mao ra to ang four years sa college? Nganung murag mubo ra kaayo? Taysa lang...halaka uie, paspas jud diay ang dagan sa panahon. dili gyud matagna ang panahon bei.
And that was it. That was the end of my college life story. Short as it seems but meaningful and wonderful enough to be remembered always.
